Really enjoyed the interview with Ann Maddox.

I understand that a lot of this show is based on the hosts opinions. I don’t mind that, and I think Rachelle is really thoughtful. I think they should include sources in the show notes when they reference an article/news piece. I went to find out more on a topic they covered and the facts that...Read full review »

This is bad
myszka & mouse via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/24
I thought this would be a fun way to keep up with pop/Internet culture. I know it’s not the deepest subject but there are ways to cover it that are more thoughtful and interesting. These two have little of interest to say and much of it is quite mean spirited, and almost all delivered in phrases...Read full review »

I can’t anymore! I began listening to ICYMI and stuck with Rachelle and her co hosts/guests for a long time, and enjoyed it less and less. I was never looking for some pretentious, high brow podcast content to consume - if I was I would never have listened to this but this past year/season has...Read full review »

I don’t think I’ve ever left a review for a podcast before, but I am extremely disappointed with the most recent episode of ICYMI about Gypsy Rose Blanchard. I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and was excited when Rachelle found a new cohost in Candice. However, Candice’s takes...Read full review »

The premises of some episodes are really great and entertaining to listen to! What puts me off is the amount of ads. There are more than any other podcast I listen to and it becomes frustrating when I’m just trying to get to the content of the episode. Also the internet culture moments from 2023...Read full review »

I started listening to this show 15 months ago, when I found it really informative and with interesting takes on deep internet culture I don’t always know about. But it’s gone really down hill in the last 6 months. The hosts spend too much time making up obscure inside joke stories about each...Read full review »

Just because some is a culture journalist doesn’t mean they’ll be good on a podcast. Cat Sposato was so bad as a guest that first time in my ICYMI listening history I actually had to turn it off. Horrendous. It sounded like someone outside a concert venue had just been asked to come into record a...Read full review »
Ejayinc via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 12/06/23
Loved the show for the longest time but every day it seems more and more tone deaf and less and less actually analytical. Who cares that Hassan Minaj exaggerated his stories when there is a whole genocide going on against Palestinians. If anything this whle breakdown shows how bipoc lives just...Read full review »

I listen to this podcast for pop culture/ social media coverage. I’m often surprised how robust and thoughtful their coverage is. Rachelle can hold her own as an interviewer! She’s knows when to be silly and when to be smart. Keep up the good work!
katie.267 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/25/23
eh
Why do they seem so behind on everything if you’re not going to cover things when they happen then cover them more deeply and get facts right. 10/20/23 Okay, we’re back and I’m happy.
rkrae13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
I appreciate all the enthusiasm, but please stop screaming into the mic when you get excited. It is unpleasant in the earbuds. I’m right here, and I love to hear your opinion. There’s no reason to yell other than that all the flowers to Rachelle and Candace!
Tim Elliott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/23
Oof
Have listened for awhile but the takes are pretty immature, un self aware, and like they just were exposed to the internet yesterday. No real nuance just rattling off talking points. Also, very funny when they critique journalism or media because have they heard themselves?
Hyphaddy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/23
It kept coming up in my Spotify Daily Drive. The “internet culture” of it all felt distant from my interests. But I listened anyway. At the beginning I liked the hosts and their chemistry, the way their lexicon wove intrigue into the topics in a way I hadn’t considered. As time went on, I found...Read full review »
EQH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/23
I’ve been a fan of the show when I started listening late 2022. I love their deep dives and takes on reality tv and tik tok trends. I think once they start to dedicate whole episodes to tv shows like Succession or Suits, that’s when they lose me. It feels a little too much like a recap podcast...Read full review »
notangeline via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/23
I love this podcast but the most recent episode on life coaches was surprising to me. I’m a licensed therapist. We don’t need to go to Yale and we don’t need to attend conferences (???). I’ve listened to a few other podcasts about life coaches recently and it seems most of the hosts and guests...Read full review »
Banana5050 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/23
I really enjoy this show as an “elder millennial” who decided not to join TikTok. This show keeps me in the know and I don’t have to give up even more of my personal data for it. I started listening this summer, so I only know Rachelle and Candice as co-hosts. They have a good rapport and...Read full review »
TheLazyEditor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/23
I used to looove this podcast and its thoughtful takes on viral content, but it’s kind of gone downhill. I want to hear about stuff going on in pop culture/social media — not repetitive dunks on capitalism interspersed with 10 minute ad breaks 😬
Alana454335 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/23
There’s sometimes just summaries of recent reality TV episodes?? And sometimes topics are weeks if not months late. I feel like this podcast is losing the thread.
Melissa T 1234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/23
Love the podcast, but since Madison left the topics/discussions have all slid downhill, more gen-z-ish, less big topics, and discussions lack mature nuance. Love the new girl but wish they would have gone with someone older/more journalistic experience. The guest hosts they had were all great,...Read full review »
jujumo10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/23
I used to really love this podcasts; it was my go to twice a week. I still try to keep up with it but I find myself bored and almost annoyed at newer episodes. Not at all a fan of Candice; her voice is not pleasing to the ears, her opinions drive me insane and can be borderline immature and...Read full review »

Obsessed with this podcast, so glad I found it!
Lorengullattee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/23
This pod keeps me young
LadyAnnunziata via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/23
I want to say but no means is this about the new host, I love her energy and I feel she brings a lot of good to the podcast. It’s the opinions that have become increasingly hard to understand. In the last few months I have finished maybe one whole episode. It doesn’t feel like I know what is...Read full review »

I was really loving this podcast but I feel like they are really trying too hard to be different and have the right opinions on things
Cassendyy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/23
Somehow even the ads r good lo
just a another review :/ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/23
I’ve listened to every episode of ICYMI and I loved it when rachelle and Madison were the hosts. There’s been a couple times where I’ve noticed a misinformed or inappropriate comment (when rachelle described awkwafina’s blaccent as trying to have an “American persona” comes to mind- she IS...Read full review »
what the heck Ew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/23
I really enjoyed the original podcast hosts and also liked listening to Rachel and her guest cohosts; but Candice’s voice is so grating that it physically hurts to listen to. She also doesn’t provide any opinions of substance.
LolaVicious3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/23
Love this podcast, and understand the changes. Candice’s voice gets quite pitchy and can be bothersome though, especially when listening through headphones. Makes it hard to listen to. Also feels a bit exaggerated - there are times when her voice doesn’t get so high pitched, and the change from...Read full review »
nattran. via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/17/23
I’ve been listening to show since it started and don’t want to stop but I’m enjoying it less and less. It often feels like there’s no variance in opinions or thoughts between the hosts and the guest of the week. Not saying there should be someone on the opposite end of the spectrum, but often one...Read full review »
Alohanea via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/23
I feel like early episodes of this show used to make an effort to do actual research and recently they’re just not even pretending to bother. The episode about Hogwarts Legacy was just one person’s long incorrect diatribe. Sure they’re allowed to dislike the game and the personality behind Harry...Read full review »

Thanks for a fun & informative podcast about one of my favorite little luxuries. I am “of a certain age” & have outgrown the body products but I still enjoy Bath & Body’s variety of candies. Never buy any at full price & bundle purchases to avoid paying for shipping 😊 With the...Read full review »

Since Madison left each episode is about how everything on the internet is racist. Sometimes they make a good point. Often they have to break logic to bring in the alleged racism.
pqwyhr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
Although I subscribe to a few dozen podcasts, there are only 3 that I always listen to as soon as they drop. This is one of them.
Kristen801 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/23
I love the host of this show — she’s so relatable and fun. Some of my favorite episodes have been the Harry Potter legacy analysis, the nexus of wellness culture, and the one on buying concert tickets. It’s just great conversation to listen to on your commute or when I’m getting ready in the...Read full review »
thcddvvgjc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/23
You lost me after the influencers episode. I love this podcast so much and Rachelle you are hilarious but the content recently has been offensive. The exploitative and problematic nature of “influencing” is never probed. I would take a moral stance on this podcast and stick to it, because the...Read full review »

Don’t like to engage with social media, but don’t want to feel cut off from those who do. This is an entertaining way to get news from the trenches.
Greybird17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/23
So disrespectful of people who actually do things. They just giggle without doing research on their objects of derision. Lazy and unfunny
H Mit via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/03/23
Wee
Ok
Noland Chaliha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/23
I love this pod. Rachelle is an awesome host. But 4-5 ad breaks for a 35 minute show is absolutely insane.
mollpro via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/23
I liked the content and host, but I probably won’t listen again, because it felt like more ads than content.
ChooseAnotherNickname2013 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/23
Great show, no doubt. But you need to talk to more than one person about the Hogwords legacy game. First, I am sorry that your guest had a bad experience playing the game. I also played the game on PC and did not experience the issues they discussed. The reviews for the game are objectively...Read full review »
kgclean via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/23
The show has really gone downhill since Madison left. Rachelle really only focuses on topics that she’s is interested in, which are not topics that have been relevant in the last 5 years. The show has gotten boring and there are just so many ads. Also so tired of the read receipts debate. We...Read full review »
_Sarah_Z via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
Some episodes have more reporting/are on at least somewhat meaningful topics, others are just really banal, need editing, and are just the host’s opinions, which are your run-of-the-mill Twitter hot takes.
